“I think I'm still full!”
We went on a tour of a lesser known market away from the tourists and made excellent food in her home. It is such a nice change to have create and eat food with a family to get a better sense of the culture when traveling. There was no lack of good food, sweets, breads, tagines, fruit. Don't bother with breakfast, you'll be fed enough for a week!
